In this study the optimum topology distribution of the magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) layer in an adaptive sandwich plate is investigated. The adaptive sandwich plate consists of an MR elastomer layer embedded between two thin elastic plates. A finite element model has been first formulated to derive the governing equations of motion. A design optimiz ...

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are a class of smart materials with rubber-like qualities, demonstrating revertible magnetic field-dependent viscoelastic properties, which makes them an ideal candidate for development of the next generation of adaptive vibration absorbers. This research study aims at the development of a finite element model using mi ...

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) show broad application prospects in the area of soft robots since they offer merits of fast response, large deformation, light weight and high energy conversion efficiency. Practical soft robot applications would usually require the study on the modeling and control of the DEA. However, the DEA has a memory property, ...

This study aims to enhance and tune wave-propagation properties (Bandgaps) of periodic structures featuring magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). For this purpose, first, a basic model of periodic structures (square unit cell with cross-shaped arms), which does not possess noise filtering properties in the conventional configuration, is considered. A pass ...

The paper presents a novel manufacturing approach to fabricate origami based on 3D printing utilizing digital light processing. Specifically, we propose to leave part of the model uncured during the printing step, and then cure it in the post-processing step to set the shape in a folded configuration. While the cured regions in the first step try to regai ...
